Chapter 93: Recruitment Commercial
"Step out of California and level all of America!"
Starting the next day, the media outlets under Warner and Fox launched a massive preliminary promotional campaign for Independence Day. This particular slogan, championed by Fox Television, quickly became a catchphrase across North America.
"The young director Duke Rosenberg is brimming with creativity and a thirst for destruction. After destroying Santa Monica in Speed and blowing up San Francisco and Alcatraz Island in The Rock, he has finally decided to step out of California and target the entire country in his new film, Independence Day. Perhaps the entire North American Continent will sink beneath his endless explosions..."
Sitting on a campus bench, Aerin set down her newspaper and looked at Anna beside her. "What is this madman going to blow up? The White House? The Statue of Liberty? Or the Empire State Building?"
"Why hasn't any paper mentioned a release date?" Aerin grumbled, folding the newspaper away.
"Could you use your brain a little, Miss Lauder?" Anna shifted on the bench, deliberately scooting a bit further away. "The film is called Independence Day. It's obviously going to be released over the Independence Day holiday."
"Good point," Aerin nodded. "We won't be short of a movie to watch next July."
"Are you sure you'll even have the time?" Anna nudged her shoulder. "After this semester, we'll be starting our internships. You'll probably be heading back to the Lauder Group, right?"
"Yeah, my mom wants me back at the family company." Aerin sighed. "What about you, Anna? What are your plans? Are you heading to Broadway, or marching straight into Hollywood?"
